For you now stand upon the edge of a new thing that I have placed in
front of you. And right now it looks dark and forbidding. That is just
because it is new to you. It stands before you like a great forest and a forest that you have never walked in before. You have never been this way before.

But I ask you to step into what is before you. Do not hesitate. It may
seem scary at first, but once you come into the fullness, then and only then shall you see the glory of what lies within. So come in. Enter
through that door, for it is there, and soon you will not have to look
for it. It will be right before you and though you have seemed to stumble and fumble and search, and have been discouraged at lack of use and knowledge, it shall soon come to you.

So enter into my glory and the new thing before you and once you come through that door, fear and apprehension shall leave. For the glory that abides within those gates shall overcome you and make you arise and awaken and then you shall see fully what you are and what I have prepared you for. Do not be jealous over those that have risen quickly. For they will be like a flickering light and they will be gone. But YOU! You I have prepared for a long time.

So do not look at your age or the process that you have been through. For that which seemed to consume you, only strengthened you. For you are a warrior with the highest of honor and strength. Your faith has seemed weak, but it has seemed weak, because you looked to the past and compared it to before you entered the battle. But the battle is the true test and you have won. You have passed. So now it is time to enter into that passage of time and stand with those that have not failed and come to me as victors. So receive this. I am not one who can lie. IT IS YOURS!
